DEVICE: GUM® (00070942007849)

A manual, pointed, oral hygiene device with a soft tip or bristles intended to be used to stimulate and massage the gums to promote good periodontal (gum) condition, and to clean and remove plaque and debris from between the teeth and gingival surfaces. It may also be referred to as an interdental/interproximal brush and is intended for use in the home. This is a reusable device.

An instrument designed to be used by a patient to manually brush clean their teeth and gums (i.e., remove plaque, tartar, stains). It typically consists of a proximal handle and distal head with rows of bristles (e.g., nylon) grouped in separate tufts or evenly distributed. The device is typically used with toothpaste. This is a reusable device.

A string-like device formed as thread or tape, used for the removal of plaque and/or debris from the proximal surfaces of teeth and the gingival surfaces of fixed prostheses. It is typically made of a synthetic fibre. After application, this device cannot be reused.

A device used to scrape the upper surface of the tongue to promote oral hygiene (e.g., to remove plaque, food debris, and bacteria, and to prevent bad breath). It is normally available [non-prescription] over-the-counter (OTC). It is typically made of copper (Cu) because of its biostatic properties (i.e., bacteria will not grow on its surface), and has a scraping ridge that is manually pulled over the surface of the tongue. This is a reusable device.
